Adrian Walyon followed her downstairs, his eyes fixed on her the whole way.
When Sumr Sutton’s figure reappeared in the dining room, everyone at the table imdiately looked at her.
Her face was too pale, a clear sign that she had just vomited.
Diana Wood scrutinized her repeatedly, tentatively asking, "You... aren’t you...?"
She didn’t say the rest, but everyone understood what she ant.
Sumr Sutton hadn’t undergone any tests, so she couldn’t be sure herself.
Adrian Walyon reacted the fastest, not caring that it was late at night and whether the hospital’s outpatient departnt was open, he grabbed Sumr Sutton’s hand and led her quickly out of the Walyon Family ho.
At the front gate, there was a loud roar as Adrian Walyon’s car sped away, disappearing instantly outside the Walyon Family estate.
Bryce Walyon sat at the dining table, cutting his food, but his knife went a bit deeper than intended.
Ryan Walyon sat stiffly beside him, staring absentmindedly at the chair Sumr Sutton had just occupied, his hand tightening on the table knife.
...
Without knowing Sumr Sutton’s situation, the Old Master and Diana Wood lost their appetites, with one sitting stiffly on the sofa and the other pacing nervously around the room.
Diana Wood seed extrely anxious, calling Adrian Walyon several tis to inquire about Sumr Sutton’s condition.
However, Adrian Walyon ignored the calls and hung up directly.
It took several hours before Adrian Walyon and Sumr Sutton returned.
As soon as they entered the hall, Diana Wood hurried over, asking, "How did it go? How did it go?"
Sumr Sutton was Adrian Walyon’s wife, and normally, Diana Wood was the least fond of her in the family.
Yet tonight, Diana Wood was more anxious than Adrian Walyon, asking repeatedly.
Adrian Walyon didn’t answer, as she scrutinized them both thoroughly.
She intended to find the examination report, but noticed their hands were empty.
"No check-up?" Diana Wood was stunned for a few seconds, then suddenly slapped her own head.
It was late at night; the regular hospital outpatient departnts were long closed, so where would they go for a check-up?
Adrian Walyon had actually gone to several hospitals in vain.
Sumr Sutton wanted to suggest going tomorrow, thinking it would be the sa.
But he seed impatient to wait even one night, directly asking to call over the family doctor and having soone move the check-up equipnt from a private hospital to the house, overnight.
Sumr Sutton had never seen a pregnancy check-up done with such a fuss—the equipnt was moved ho...
Adrian Walyon paced back and forth in the room, feeling sowhat restless tonight.
While waiting for Sumr Sutton’s examination, he hadn’t sat still for even a second.
The Walyon Family gathered outside the room waiting; Diana Wood was anxious enough to rush in several tis.
Such impulsiveness might lead an outsider to think Sumr Sutton was about to give birth.
She was fully aware of the importance of the child in Sumr Sutton’s belly.
The Walyon Family’s first grandson—once born, this child would undoubtedly be appreciated by the entire family!
This child could also eliminate any intentions of those wishing to compete with Adrian Walyon for the inheritance.
After all, the Walyon Family’s rule was succession by order, and once the child was born, he would beco the next in line after Adrian Walyon, with no room for other branches.
The Doctor took quite a while to check Sumr Sutton.
With so many of the Walyon Family waiting outside, all eyes on Sumr Sutton, any mistake in the examination would leave the Doctor unable to save face.
